My Resume
My Aspiration
My desire to help create video games and my knowledge of a variety of game production software urges me to apply for any position I am qualified for.
I have recently graduated from Guilford Technical Community College (GTCC) in Jamestown, NC with an Associate in Applied Science Degree in Simulation and Game Design along with an Associate in Applied Science in Computer Programming. Throughout my college education I have learned about all aspects of the content creation pipeline that goes into creating a video game in addition to the basics of programming in a diversity of programming languages. Even before college I had over three years of experience working in 3D Studio Max and creating models that could be used in games. In the Technology Students Association, under the Sci-Vis category, a classmate and I won first place in the state competition and second place in the national competition; in which I received a copy of 3ds Max Design.
I am highly motivated to continue learning as much as I can about creating game assets inside of software used to create textures, 3D models, scripts, and game engines. I have taken my knowledge and have been working on projects of my own and am motivated to work through all aspects of a program/game.
